Dear Developers,
As you know, we recently announced our intention to acquire NeXT Software,
Inc. and deliver a new operating system based on NeXT and Apple technology
code-named Rhapsody. At Macworld San Francisco, we shared our high level
strategy and goals for this operating system.
Absoft is pleased to announce Pro Fortran, a new Fortran toolset for Power
Macintosh. Pro Fortran is a complete development toolset which includes:
F90 compiler, upgraded VAX compatible F77, and Plum Hall validated C/C++
compilers. All compilers utilize a common development environment, tools
and user interface (individual compiler interfaces are also included).
Selected source file will automatically invoke the proper compiler, and
linker will include proper libraries.
Fortran Warriors,
I have just released v1.3.3 which makes Mac F2C fully compatible with MSL
and CW11. Users can get it at:
